Can someone give me an idea, how much would it cost to keep a boat at

a marina year round (including winter storage). This should not

include variable costs like diesel fuel used for trips. Just the cost

of mooring and necessary maintenance. hanks



Where are you located?



When you look at the numbers others are tossing around I would wonder

why you would want such a large boat in the first place. We kept our

late 37-footer at a city-owned marina. The year-round cost came to

about

$100 per foot, or less than $4,000. Electricity was extra but based on

actual usage, under $20 per month.

Location is a very important aspect of the cost. In the northeast

marinas with slips large enough to accommodate a 45 footer aren't all

that abundant.

However in Florida slips for that size boat and larger are readily

available. Demand is part of the cost structure.

Now Krausie, how would you know anything about this? You 8' dingy was repossesed from your back yard in one of your multiple bankruptcies.
